EVENT: Organic Wine Tour

Join OCO on an organic wine tour through the Niagara region where you’ll explore vineyards, learn about organic wineries, of course, taste local organic wines!

Registration Deadline September 4th!

We are very excited to announce OCO’s first guided organic wine tour in the Niagara region on September 8th in celebration of Organic Week 2019!

The tour will provide guests with insights into organic and biodynamic winemaking operations. Guests will get the chance to taste wines from four unique organic operations of varying sizes. All wineries we will visit place importance on sustainable practices and creating quality products, something that will become evident throughout each tour and tasting!

The tour will stop at four organic wineries:

Tawse Winery (Vineland)- A family-owned organic and biodynamic winery that has been awarded “Canada’s Best Winery” at the National Wine Awards four times.

Southbrook Organic Vineyard (Niagara-on-the-Lake)– The first estate winery in Canada to achieve both organic and biodynamic certification. Southbrook expertly crafts their wine to express the story both of the grapes and the ground that nourishes them.

And OCO will be pleased to introduce On Seven Estate Winery (Niagara-on-the-Lake), an organic winery that makes only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir using traditional, low-intervention methods like hand-harvesting, wild yeasts and French oak barrels. On Seven Estate has been under development since 2009 with their first vintage from 2017. Guests of this tour will be amongst the first ever to taste the wines from this new organic vineyard.
